Mike - Hayden has posted a similar ad which I also had to move to this section, see: here

Hayden - Please understand that you'd need to provide pictures if you stand any chance of selling your car, see the above link for your old post and see here for Rules, Terms and Conditions, also, please try and post in the correct section as your posts will only get moved.

Thanks,

Lord Sterling

You'll also find that, curiously, most of the folk on here will be fairly up to speed on the spec of most 800s, and furthermore, we know they can be rather troublesome.

Despite that, if we're on here still, it means we're persevering in 800 ownership, through whatever excuse we chose to justify the ownership by; love, low buying costs, love, a need for tinkering, love...

So rather than listing it's features, you might want to list which ones work!

Folk are less likely to be put off a sale on here because of malfunctioning electrics, for example, than in general outside the forum, in all probability, because we've experienced them before, and are willing and capable of fixing them!

*Edit* I just can't let it go, I'm sorry.
The 'OR ELSE I'LL SCRAP IT, SEE IF I DON'T!' threat is old, tired and annoying.

It puts me off looking at cars, because it just suggests that the owner cares little to none for the car, and they're really not bothered if someone owns it after them, or if it rots in a heap in a big yard somewhere.

That translates into their ownership of it, and suggests that the owner has cared for the car little to none throughout their ownership.

Guilt trips are unlikely to work, and providing more detailed information and pictures of the car is pretty easy, I suppose, is what I'm trying to say.

A valid point, the perfect 26 post count doesn't lend itself to him returning, tbh.

Thats a valid point and very well said Vard, I was going to say the same thing myself but as a mod I have to try and stay even.

We seem to be attracting alot more one worded, poorly described, guilt-trip containg sellers who cant be bothered to at least stick a few pics up hence attracting buyers.

Due to this I think I'll be consulting about a few amendments to the "For Sale" rules.

I wouldn't make a fuss myself - if the advert doesn't give us the info we need, it won't sell! It's not my loss.

It is tedious and it might generate an impulse bid on ebay but you'd think a different approach would be better in a place like this.
